PREFACE.

The Book of Chicagoans, after a long and patient campaign of
research and inquiry, is now presented with confidence that every
promise and prediction made for it has been fulfilled. The volume con-
tains a vastly larger collection of personal sketches of Chicago people
than has ever before been gathered together, and not only in numbers,
but also in the quality of the people whose life-statistics are presented,
the book may fairly claim precedence. It is the best showing ever made
of biographical data concerning those living men who best represent
the reputable efforts and creditable activities of the City of Chicago.

The Book of Chicagoans is modeled on the plan of "Who's Who in
America," a now world-famous publication, recognized as the highest
authority on personal data pertaining to nationally notable living
Americans. It is edited and published by the same persons who have
placed "Who's Who in America" in the foremost position among
American works of reference. It follows the same lines of carefulness
and discrimination, but is entirely confined to pertinent data about the
living men of Chicago and vicinity who are entitled to be included in a
work of this character.

Names which should have been included will be missed, but in

-}* practically all such cases the omission is not in the least due to the lack

J of effort on the part of those having the preparation of the book in

^ hand. By mailed request or personal solicitation all who were regarded

f. as eligible were solicited, in a respectful way, to furnish personal data.

1 The great majority of those so requested furnished the data freely and

- in a courteous manner, and to them thanks are hereby extended. A
few gave information with evident reluctance and others showed com-
^ plete indifference and let the requests for data go unnoticed.

Some names which frequently appear in the newspapers are con-
spicuous by their absence for the reason that the Book of Chicagoans
has endeavored only to include men of good standing and reputable
<- vocation.

Notwithstanding the reasons named, which have prevented the

- inclusion of persons whose life-sketches it had been intended to give,
the publication may make just claim to greater completeness, a greater

192659

6 THE BOOK OF CHICAGOANS

degree of accuracy and a more dependable and authoritative record in
regard to the leaders in the business, professional, industrial, official and
intellectual life of Chicago than has ever before been collected.

To make such a publication dependable it is necessary that it
should be impartial and unpurchasable. The Book of Chicagoans has
been compiled as a reference book, and all of the sketches in the volume
have been inserted with that fact in view. Not one has been paid for,
nor inserted for any financial consideration. A perusal of these pages
will reveal at once the absence of those terms of fulsome adulation and
adjectival exuberance which are the earmarks of those too-frequent
volumes of paid puffery which have heretofore, to so large an extent,
masqueraded under the honest name of Biography.

To secure accuracy the greatest care has been taken. In every case
where possible the facts were procured, at first hands, and the sketches
were submitted for verification and correction, thus giving to the book
a quality practically autobiographical. In this painstaking way its
authenticity has been safeguarded and its value as a reference book
has been established.

The volume has been confined to living subjects, because the pur-
pose from the first has been to furnish a dictionary of contemporaries,
and to mirror the current progress and history of the city as reflected
in the life-statistics of its citizens. The men whose life-histories are
here briefly given are in large measure the men who control the activi-
ties and welfare of Chicago in all important avenues of public, private,
business and intellectual endeavor. The main object of bringing them
together in this compilation is to place within easy reach such legiti-
mate information in regard to the personal history of Chicagoans as it
is natural that one interested in them should desire to possess.

In the daily work and turmoil of life, in this city of strenuous
endeavor and achievement, one finds but little opportunity to get
acquainted with those whose personalities are (outside of his own most
intimate circles) of most interest. The reader can doubtless think of
many a leading citizen of whom he would like to know: Where did he
come from, where and how was he educated, what is his home life, his
religious, social and political environment, and what have been the
chief steps in his career? If the reader will turn to such names he will
find just the information desired.

No other book has attempted to furnish, in any systematic man-

THE BOOK OF CHICAGOANS 7

ner, the salient facts in regard to the lives of those Chicagoans who are
most prominent in all the useful branches of effort.

Many and varied are the interests controlled or represented by
those whose life-histories are here outlined. Business and professional
interests are most largely represented, because Chicago is, beyond every-
thing else, a business center. The city has made unprecedented strides
toward business supremacy, and stands first in many, and prominent
in all, of the important branches of trade, production, and professional
effort. Therefore this volume, partakes largely of the nature of a
business dictionary, and one which contains more personal information
about the living business men of Chicago than can be found collectively
in all other books ever printed. Business men can find here much more
than they ever knew before about their competitors and customers, and
a vast amount of personal knowledge in regard to their fellow citizens
which is of value from a business as well as from a social standpoint.
In fact, in all lines of useful achievement, the book furnishes as com-
plete a compendium and epitome of personal data in regard to those
Chicagoans most prominently identified with the best movements and
interests of the city as it has been possible to procure by patient care,
experienced methods and large expenditure.

To the press of Chicago and other cities this volume presents
features of easily recognized value. Here the newspaper man will find
facts which are of great value, and by the use of the book in the city
room the exasperating errors resulting from hasty picking up of details
from unreliable sources may be in large measures avoided. The truth
is here given in undiluted form and every item is presented in a plain,
unvarnished, concise, condensed manner, which may be at once grasped
and understood.

In number and representative selection of subjects, accuracy of
detail, and authoritative usefulness as a work of reference, it is confi-
dently claimed that the Book of Chicagoans is the most complete com-
pilation of Chicago biography ever printed. Not only is this true, but
by far the larger part of the information it contains is not procurable,
in print, from any other source.

The volume contains concise, but comprehensive, biographic
sketches of 500 per cent more representative Chicagoans than are to be
found in any other publication. While it is not claimed that the book
represents infallibility or inerrancy, it is confidently put forth as the

8 THE BOOK OF CHICAGOANS

best that has so far been produced among books of local and contempo-
rary biography in this or any other American city.

It is the present purpose to make such periodical revision of The
Book of Chicagoans as may seem to be called for by the demands of
those who find it useful. With this purpose in view the publishers will
be glad to receive suggestions of improvement and expansion for use
in subsequent editions.

his father; was with the Brush Electric Light
Co., in Cleveland, O. ; afterwards mining in
Leadville and in Cripple Creek, Colo., and
thence to Kansas City, where he engaged in
real estate, etc., for several years, coming to
Chicago in 1897. Invented the Brady steam
turbine, sixty-two of which have been con-
structed, all experimental in order to work out
the details of this principle; perfected at last
a steam turbine that uses 50 per cent, less fuel
than any other form of steam turbine in use;
the engine is devoid of friction, requires no
packing, and the bearings are the only parts
lubricated; the utility and excellence of the
Brady steam turbine is shown by the fact that
it is a great conservator of energy, which will
result in the displacement of the old time en-
gines that have been so desirable in the past.
He is also inventor of many other inventions
pertaining to electricity, steam and liquid air,
and in 1902 organized and established the
John F. Brady Turbine Co., of which he is
